Summer 2026 batch
Diego AvellanedaCallbook.aiFrontier Residency is the rare program with no theater. You build, you get honest feedback, you ship on a clock. I came in solo and heads down, and the room changed how fast I moved. Someone three feet away had usually already solved the thing I was stuck on. I got more of Arqio done there than anywhere.
